Bodyspace: Destabilising Geographies of Gender and Sexuality

Body Space brings together some of the best known geographers writing on gender and sexuality today. Together they explore the role of space and place in the performance of gender and sexuality. The book takes a broad perspective on feminism as a theoretical critique, and aims to ground notions of citizenship, work, violence, 'race' and disability in their geographical contexts. The book explores the idea of knowledge as embodied, engendered and embedded in place and space. Gender and sexuality are explored through the methodological and conceptual lenses of cartography, fieldwork, resistance, transgression, and the divisions between local/global and public/private space.
